The GOP is Certain to Win in 2006 — Unless...
By Ernest Partridge, The Crisis Papers
July 25, 2005



I have frequently been accused of being hopelessly optimistic. Perhaps so: that’s what keeps me going.
But now, for those who thrive on gloom and doom – it's your turn.
Here’s the very bad news: the Democrats will almost certainly lose in 2006 and again in 2008.

Three essential reasons: (a) the GOP and the Bush junta simply cannot afford to lose, (b) they can prevent their defeat no matter what the voters have to say about it (as they have in the last three elections), and (c) apparently the Democratic Party, the media, and law enforcement are unable and/or unwilling to do anything about it.

A GOP win in 2006 and 2008 seems simply inevitable: as "inevitable" as LBJ’s re-election, Nixon completing his second term, and the endurance of the Soviet Union and apartheid South Africa. By this I mean that all this would have come to pass but for some extraordinary and unforeseen developments. Nothing less will budge the GOP from the White House and the Congress. After all, their “private sector” supporters count and compile the votes with secret software – and do so with no official independent means of validation. These facts about voting in the United States are publicly known and undisputed. And yet, despite compelling and unrefuted evidence of voting fraud, no one, except some determined citizen groups and a small minority of members of Congress, appear to be bothered enough to take action.


So the GOP will win for “three essential reasons.” Let’s take them in order: >>>> http://www.oldamericancentury.org/crisis_035.htm

1. They'll keep "winning" forever if nobody addresses electronic voting.

2. They are a shoe in
If the Democrats don't point out what they are up to??

Maybe there will be some Repugs with a conscious that may help.

3. Lately I'm not so sure all Democrats are representing our interests.
I hate to sound pessimistic, but I get the feeling that we're all being screwed and Democrats are a big part of it.

Last year, Kerry did a piss-poor job of holding Bush accountable for his crimes. I can't help but feel this might have been intentional.
